Never know might get lucky and have found the cheapo stuff thats the best. The wheels looks tidy. I've just been pricing 33s on 15x10 steels so i can paint the wheels when they go rusty. The chrome looks nice buts it's too much hassle to redo when they rust.

Might get some cheap painty myself just to tidy some bits up.

"Might get some cheap painty myself just to tidy some bits up."

poundland spray is spot i think, ive got tones of the stuff now, i stock up when im near.
dont be affraid to go gloss black either, its very durable and lasts well, ive had my arches sprayed for 6 months or more now and a good few thousand miles clocked up and they look bang on still!
